Instructions
For the Donut Holes: 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for 3 minutes. 2 In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, vanilla protein powder, unflavored protein powder, lemon zest, and baking powder. 3 Add the grated cold butter, Greek yogurt, and almond milk (adding the milk a little at a time). Mix with a spoon until a rough dough starts to form. 4 Toss the frozen blueberries in a tiny pinch of extra flour (this keeps them from sinking to the bottom), then gently fold them into the bowl until a cohesive dough forms.Tip: Do not over-mix, or the protein powder will make the donut holes tough! 6 Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and use your hands to roll them into balls.Tip: Lightly grease your hands with cooking spray to prevent the dough from sticking. 8 Place the balls into your air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 5 minutes. For the Lemon Glaze: 10 While the donut holes are cooking, make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and almond milk (adding the milk a little at a time) until smooth. 11 Once the donut holes are done, transfer them to a wire rack and let them cool slightly. If you glaze them while they are piping hot, the glaze will melt right off. 12 Using a fork, dunk each donut hole into the lemon glaze to coat completely, then return them to the cooling rack. 13 Let the donut holes sit for a few minutes until the glaze hardens, then serve and enjoy!View original recipe
